I'm a big RMR convert for pistols. lots of them. lots of use. on lots of guns. lots of abuse. But when the aimpoint came out with the acro I ordered one to test and see what I might like better or worse. Took five months to get delivered. But it arrived. But I live in a rural area and UPS left it in the driveway as they do sometimes. It was a pretty small box and in any case the next person to drive up ran over the package. Looked pretty crushed. But in any case removed the ACRO, added battery and all seems to work fine. Somehow thought this was funny overall given my thoughts on a durability test. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | ||

Can you tell us where you ordered it from? (Good to know about the durability, BTW.) ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans …. Together we have resisted the trap of appeasement, cynicism, and isolation that gives temptation to tyrants.” — George H. W. Bush | |||

Take pics. Tell the story to Aimpoint. It'll be a good commercial for them.  Q | |||

And you could maybe score some swag from them with the story. I did a testimonial for Vance & Hines and scored a shirt and some other stuff. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

Europtic. There were pretty good through the whole mess of finally getting it. The long wait time ultimately was created by aimpoint as the order also had a P320 M17 plate on it and aimpoint hasn't actually produced those. So once we got the order split into two parts the sight came pretty quickly... “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

Thanks. I have found the company to be good to deal with several times. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans …. Together we have resisted the trap of appeasement, cynicism, and isolation that gives temptation to tyrants.” — George H. W. Bush | |||

they didn't run over it with a car. Twice. So that's my contribution on durability to date. I've done a few thousand rounds with it on a glock so far no issues, but I haven't done some of the things I've done to an RMR to compare (hit a barricade in recoil, land on it going prone, etc. etc. etc.) “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

nope. runs fine a couple of thousand rounds. If all goes well I should be able to shoot it and get to 5K this week. I finally got my second one (I use these things in pairs for competition) and will use that one over the weekend. I'm sure its aimpoint tough, but I am not sure its better than an RMR at this point. Further testing will tell. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||
